Winter Jewels

One snowy Sunday afternoon, I decided to take inspiration from this lovely hair band that I picked up from Zara in the sales for just £3! The jewel toned colours were truly inspiring and complimented the hair band perfectly

For this look I scoured my whole makeup collection and could not find a single vibrant purply/pink to contrast with the blues and greens. Utter shame. Yet, I found the perfect solution. Lipstick. Yes, that's right, I used pink lipstick for a base and patted on a maroon from my Sleek Storm palette. And which lipstick did I use, you ask? None other than Nars Schiap. I knew I made the right decision buying it - it's multi-purpose! If you want to see what it looks like, check it out here.

So, to achieve this pretty, very girly makeup, here is what you have to do:

Get creative with your colours! I blended three different colours on the top lid, starting with a £1 MUA Eyeshadow (insane value for money!), and incorporated a navy blue in the crease from my Sleek Storm palette. Then, for the purple I used Nars Schiap above my crease and blended it with the maroon from the storm palette. To tie the eyes together, I used a Barry M Eye Shadow Pencil in a deep green on my lower lash line. Thus, I managed to incorporate all the major colours from my jewelled hair band!

Really inspirational! Love your make up and your eyes are so beautiful!! Thanks very much for your comment on my blog :D i really love you are following me and now I'm following you on bloglovin and GFC.
